Many Councils are breaching Council Guidelines by unlawfully cutting, changing or withdrawing services without Consultation. Under Council Guidelines before changing a service provided by an assessment Consultation must take place by notify the service user or their carer. What many Councils are doing when cutting services is consulting amongst themselves then asking the elected members to approve the change then notifying the service user when the change will take place. This is unlawful but it suits the Council as they avoid the aggravation of Consultation by bypassing the legislation. CONSULTATION IS DEMOCRACY AND LAWFUL NO CONSULTATION IS DICTATORSHIP AND UNLAWFUL. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY I RECOMMEND FULL TIME CARE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY COUNCILS WILL LISTEN. Independent Living Fund payments stopped with no consultation. ILF victims when the payment stops use your right to full time care at up to £3500 a week and give your council no consultation. A carer looking after a disabled adult costing £3500 a week in care gets £200 a week in benefits. This is 6% of their full time care costs saving the council £3300 a week.
Rotherham MBC were heavily criticised in Westminster for changing weekly collection of clinical waste to 14 day collection changing it from clinical waste to household waste without consultation withdrawing supplying yellow bags adopting a zero tolerance leaving some families with up to 8 bags of stench of faeces, diarrhoea, urine, blood and vomit to be collected every 14 days turning their property into a dump it site for sewage. DON’T PUT UP WITH THIS GIVE YOUR COUNCIL AN ULTIMATUM WEEKLY COLLECTION OF THE STENCH, SUPPLY YELLOW BAGS OR USE FULL TIME CARE AT A COST TO THE COUNCIL OF UP TO £3500 A WEEK ALL THIS TO SAVE THE COUNCIL £80,000 A YEAR ONE DISABLED ADULT ON INCOME SUPPORT IN CARE CAN COST UP TO £150,000 A YEAR 7 WILL COST THEM OVER A MILLION POUNDS COUNCILS HAVE SHUT BATHING AND LAUNDRY SERVICES SHUT DAY CENTRES AND RESPITE HOMES. THEY ARE STOPPING INDEPENDENT LIVING FUND CARE STORING BODILY WASTE THAT COULD BE INFECTIOUS IS THE LAST STRAW THERE IS NO INCENTIVE TO CARE AT HOME FULL TIME CARE COULD BE THE ANSWER.
Many councils have started collecting up to 8 bags of stench every 14 days. ROTHERHAM AND READING MBC’S COUNCILS AND OTHERS compel carers of disabled adults on income support to put this often infectious stench into AN UNSEALED black bin without supplying yellow bags this is a health hazard SENDING 1000′S OF TONS OF INFECTIOUS BODILY WASTE TO LANDFILL THUS CONTAMINATING THE HOUSEHOLD WASTE I RECOMMEND CARERS TO REFUSE TO PUT UP WITH THIS AND USE FULL TIME CARE. CARERS BEING SUBJECTED TO KEEPING THE STENCH OF HUMAN WASTE ON THEIR PROPERTY OFTEN INFECTED FOR 14 DAYS COULD BREACH ARTICLE 3 AND ARTICLE 8 OF THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS. If the council cut alter or withdraw a service that has been assessed consultation must take place IT DOES NOT.
CARERS GIVE THE COUNCIL AN ULITMATUM WEEKLY COLLECTION OF YOUR STENCH OR FIND MY DISABLED ADULT FULL TIME CARE AT UP TO £3500 A WEEK YOU WILL GET YOUR WEEKLY COLLECTION BACK I DID.
I COMPLAINED AND PHOTOGRAPHED 8 BAGS OF STENCH CHALLENGED ROTHERHAM COUNCIL NOW I HAVE RETURNED TO WEEKLY COLLECTION I HAVE YELLOW BAGS PROVIDED YET THEY STILL LEAVE 200 CARERS IN ROTHERHAM LEFT WITH THE STENCH FOR 14 DAYS WITH NO YELLOW BAGS I HAVE CHECKED NEITHER THE ENVIROMENT AGENCY OR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAVE ADVICED COUNCILS TO HOLD NO CONSULTATION, TO WITHDRAW SUPPLYING YELLOW BAGS OR TO LEAVE THE STENCH OF UP TO 8 BAGS FOR 14 DAYS TURNING YOUR PROPERTY INTO A DUMP IT SITE FOR SEWAGE. GIVE YOUR COUNCIL THE ULTIMATUM WEEKLY COLLECTION WITH YELLOW BAGS SUPPLIES OR LET THEM LOOK AFTER YOUR DISABLED ADULT IN FULL TIME CARE.
. Carers have to store this on their property for 14 days turning their property into a dump it site for sewage. GIVE YOUR COUNCIL AN ULTIMATUM WEEKLY COLLECTION OF THIS OFFENSIVE INFECTIOUS WASTE OR PROVIDE MY DISABLED ADULT FULL TIME CARE THAT COULD COST UP TO £3500 A WEEK £182,000 A YEAR FOR ONE PERSON 6 IN CARE WILL COST THE COUNCIL OVER A MILLION POUNDS IT’S TIME TO FIGHT BACK..
IT IS A PROVEN FACT DOUBLY INCONTINENT PEOPLE ARE MANY MORE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO SUFFER FROM INFECTION THEY REGULARLY TAKE MEDICATION FOR THIS CONDITION ONLY UNINFECTED BODILY WASTE CAN GO TO LANDFILL REGULAR SAMPLES OF THE STENCH MUST BE TAKE I AM AVAILABLE TO MEET ANY COUNCIL OR ANY OFFICIAL TO DISCUSS THIS BARBARIC TREATMENT OF CARERS OF DOUBLY INCONTINENT PEOPLE BEFORE COUNCILS ARE FLOODED WITH FULL TIME CARE COSTING MILLIONS.
Councils dislike carers who knows and understand Community Care Law and Social Care Law. Councils dislike carers who understand Council Guidelines on Consultation. Councils dislike carers who suggest carers use their right to Full Time Care and suggest carers retire at 60. Councils dislike carers giving them an ultimatum on charges and telling them they are acting unlawfully on Community Care Law and Consultation They haven’t the places for full time care but they must find those places when you decide to stop caring. Three words Councils don’t like carers to mention are FULL TIME CARE. Unlawful charges cost you money Full Time Care costs Councils money. Any carer taking up a Judicial Review on councils collecting the stench of bodily waste every 14 days would win hands down
“nationwide carers” was started by one carer who helped Mencap to get The Fairer Charging Policy implemented in April 2003 who has watched councils financially grind carers into the ground. We witness councils breach Community Care Law and Council Guidelines on Consultation. During the short time on the internet we have had over 30,000 hits and been linked to Mencap, Carers UK, Coalition on Charges, Carers Scotland amongst others. Supported by Community Care Lawyers and thousands of disabled adults and their carers who now know councils have taken millions of pounds off carers unlawful paying for services when the disabled adults benefits have been used up. Thousands of carers have rightly stopped paying those charges. Councils have breached Community Care Law on 3 counts and fail to hold accurate financial assements on the disabled adults ability to pay their charges
We will continue to recommend all carers, caring in poverty to use FULL TIME CARE AND RETIRE AT 60 untill the Government come to their senses and exempt from all Community Care Charges all disabled adults in receipt of Income Support. Carers are “Caring Millionaires” who save this country 119 BILLION POUNDS A YEAR. CARERS USING FULL TIME CARE COULD BRING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT QUICKER THAN THE GREEDY BANKERS.
